I don't know of any brought in by Oliseh.

tbaba1234:
Their coach ia a Nigerian.. Michael Nsien

jimmyiovine:
Ghana FA have began announcing coaches for their various male and female national teams, it was just about two weeks ago the former coaches were let go. As for Nigeria, we are still waiting. U17 and u20 Women will begin qualifiers late next month.

tbaba1234:
Yea, he has Nigerian blood.

TheGoodJoe:
I honestly would have preferred Onyekuru staying and working with Moreno. He just took over Monaco and was the guy coaching Spain when Luis Enrique had family issues. He is a long time assistant of Enrique and looks promising.

How ever, Onyekuru already made up his mind to leave before the arrival of Moreno. Also, he needs support to get himself back to the level he was before joining Monaco. Then he can decide the direction he wants to take in his career, including if he wants to work under the tutelage of Moreno.

ChrisKels:
He's ended his drought

ChrisKels:
I didnt get pissed, I rather saw it as another lame line for cheap recognition. U notice he doesn't come here to analyze but troll our players? Did u not see how fast he was yesterday to vomit that kelechi missed a begging chance, what was rather a point black save from the keeper? My disappointment is that these same societal misfits will still come here to extol a player like Tanganga as a youngster, with the excuse that he was born abroad. Under rate a player as much as u deem fit, but defaming him, is so stupid.

Ayagwa Raphael (formerly of Plateau United) moves to Tulsa FC in the USL Championship (2nd tier in the US). He was unattached at the time of the transfer.

andrewbaba44:
Aspas at 32 is still valued at 25 million ,check and see for your self

Joebie:
Me is still dey mourn say we no dey go olympics. It is almost as bad as not qualifying for WC. I would even trade AFCON for olympics

charlesemeka85:
Girondins Bordeaux manager Pualo Sousa has pardoned Samuel Kalu after his late arrival from the mid-season holiday by naming the Nigerian winger in his squad for Saturday’s home clash against Olympic Lyon, Completesports.com reports.

Kalu incurred Sousa’s wrath after failing to join the rest of his teammates in training in time for last weekend’s French League Cup clash against Le Mans.

The 22-year-old claimed he was holed up in Nigeria as a result of passport problems and spent extra days in his homeland before returning to France this week.


Sousa insisted that the dazzling winger would be penalised for his action and there were reports he was demoted to train with the ‘Team B’ as part of his punishment.

Kalu appears to have now found favour from the gaffer who has included him in his 19-man squad for the game.

His international teammate Josh Maja is also named in the squad for the clash against Rudi Garcia’s men.

Kalu has scored one goal in 16 Ligue 1 appearances for Bordeaux this season.

andrewbaba44:
I hope rohr calls him back to boss our midfield

Utonwanne:
Oga,,,, chuks is overrated here.

andrewbaba44:
Aspas is a top player who can play anywhere upfront

147 laliga games and 82 goal, no average player can get such while playing for celta vigo

Not every striker need to be like cavani suarez and co before you will call him a top player

andrewbaba44:
Thank you

I used zaha as an example earlier when arguing with tbaba

Iago aspas, papu gomez, immobile, maybe lazio is a big team thou, there are many more

andrewbaba44:
Alright bro got ya

But there are still some top players in smaller teams

Example like when payet played for westham, dude is even world class

andrewbaba44:
Agreed

People are mistaking that it’s only when you play for a big club you are a top player

oloriooko:
Rashford, Linguard can fill in but I think Tammy is the best option

safarigirl:
Man, this happens on notification from family members, they don't just show up.

E don do abeg. Dem no come, dem still bury am. That is all.

ChrisKels:
This could pass as the worst squad of the last decade. Painfully, it was Enyeama's last match as a super eagle

ChrisKels:
About 3 windows gone, yet nothing from Abdul Zubairu and Alhassan Yusuf.

Next time wey una go come here dey overhype these scams eh.

Charles! Charles!! How many times I call u? Bekiaful!!

kendrick93:
And I will be happy to be proved wrong.....
I will love a Nigerian to play for my club but I have to be realistic....
Does he have the quality to play in this Liverpool team? No.
but like i said I will be happy if my observation turns out to be wrong

Blueelf:
Exactly.

'What Do You Do If Messi Says He Looks Up To You' - Nkwocha Lauds Oshoala After Snubbing Barca Star In POTY Voting



Nigeria great Perpetua Nkwocha has paid tribute to Barcelona superstar Asisat Oshoala for equaling her feat of winning the CAF Women's Best Player awards four times.

It will be recalled that Nkwocha did not include Oshoala among her top three picks for the prestigious accolade as she went for Ajara Nchout, Tabitha Chawinga, Gabrielle Ouguene as her first, second and third pick respectively

Nkwocha was the undisputed African football queen in the years 2004, 2005, 2010 and 2011 at the CAF awards while Oshoala claimed same laurels in 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2019. Both women also won the Africa Women's Nations Cup as part of their numerous honours.

"I remember vividly when you were asked in an interview who you look up to as a young star and you called my name and I smiled because I've seen you play," Nkwocha posted on her Facebook wall Wednesday morning.

"Hmm. What do you do if Messi says he looks up to you? You just smile (putting smiley emoji).

"Congratulations star girl. Make and break records girl. The world (is) at your feet," Nkwocha who now coaches Swedish side Clemensnas IF," wrote on the social media platform.

Oshoala who defeated Cameroon's Ajara Nchout and South Africa's Thembi Kgatlana to the crown took to her twitter account to express gratitude to her gratitude.

"Grateful to be Africa Women's Player of the Year for the 4th time. Thank God, my family and fans for the support.

"Big shootout to my club, my Management, teammates at both national team and club level and of course thanks to CAF for the opportunity," Oshoala who has scored 10 league goals in 13 league matches for the Barcelona Femeni enthused.

How convenient you turned blind when the guy pulled articles from bleachers but scronfully quoted me for rebuting his bleachers report with BBC award from the same year and same players.
Your African footballer of the year and Ballon d'Or are they not popularity contest where captains and select journalists vote? Abeg swerve

Barryseal:
Was I the person who pasted the bleachers article why Mikel should have won instead of Yaya? What a paradox.

Barryseal:
Argue with BBC who gave Yaya Toure the award.
https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/25154008

Barryseal:
I've read alot of below par analysis on bleachers previously. Their transfer speculation are some of the daftest jokes on the internet. I can scarvage the internet and pull articles agreeing why Yaya deserves the award.
Even BBC gave Yaya Toure the BBC African player of the year award. But will rather not pull such articles to embarrass you, Jihday and bleachers.

TheSuperNerd:
With this I rest my case and hand you over to Jihday's post from Bleacher Reports. B/R football is top notch. Perhaps you can continue your lame analysis with them... Me I am done with someone who thinks a striker scoring makes him so super influential "in all cases" (not minding the creative forces behind him). If that's so, Xavi should not have been crowned Euro 2008's MVP. Biko bye bye.... Jihday... Over to you abeg. Abeg catch the pass... **Over and out**
